CALANDRIN, Karina Stange. Foreign policy, ideology and emotions in the ascension of Likud party (1977-1983). []. , 18, 42, pp.266-280. ISSN 1519-549X.

The foreign policy decision-making process can be understood as a complex arrangement between institutions and bureaucracies responsible for decision-making. The problem presented on this dissertation rests on how this arrangement can be understood in the case of Israeli foreign policy. The central argument deals with the character of the decisions taken by the Israeli government, in which the pragmatism of decision-making would be overestimated, since emotions would have a central role in the decision-making process. We seek to highlight which actors are responsible for decision making, what their interests are and how this process occurs, using the model of bureaucratic analysis developed by Allison and Zelikow (1999) and theories of political psychology. Understood the process we intend to analyze it in the period of the Menachem Begin government (1977 - 1983), in the rise of the Likud party. The central objective is to propose a research on the formulation of foreign policy in Israel from the point of view of the responsible institutions and bureaucracies.
